After its developer

the Common Council signaled it would

But Forward Development Group project manager Dennis
Steinkraus told the

company was successful in securing two letters of credit required

Volenberg has more than


three decades of business
experience and hopes to use
those skills to help overcome some of the barriers
to Stoughtons growth.
Volenberg started out
working in industrial design
before becoming an application engineer for the
industrial sales force. He
then shifted to quality engineering and was a member
of the American Society
for Quality for a number of
years.
While working at Cummins, Volenberg had extensive training in problemsolving and risk reduction,
including Six Sigma and
failure mode and effects
analysis, a systematic
approach to figuring out
causes and effects.
Those work perfectly
in this type of environment
because youre always trying to solve a problem,
Volenberg said. Its the
same outline, just different
problems.
Volenberg said he plans
on tracking changes made

to events and services to


see if investing more time
or money into certain things
yields a better result. By
looking at how changes to
different events and services impact the community,
the chamber will be able
to better allocate resources
and help the city grow.

Seeing Stoughton
Volenbergs big, longterm goal is to bring a large
technology business to the
city. Doing so would bring
more high-paying jobs to
the citys already solid
industrial economy, he said.
Weve got a lot of real
good industry here
weve got good paying
jobs, Volenberg said. We
just need to take that next
leap here.
In order to do that, he
plans to market the positive aspects of the city
the school system, the
downtown and Stoughton
Hospital to prospective
companies like Exact Sciences of Middleton or Epic
in Verona. Adding that type
of industry would be a catalyst for small businesses,
home sales and school district enrollment, but the
challenge will be to make
connections with decision
makers who work in those
industries.
Its all about connections you need to

Dale Volenberg has been


around Stoughton most of
his life.
He grew up on a dairy
farm in Utica, went to
Stoughton High School and
spent most of his career
working at Cummins and
Nelson Global.
Hes got a good feel for
the community, and is now
hoping to help shape what
it could be as he starts his
new job as the Stoughton
Chamber of Commerce
executive director.
I just really enjoy working with the community and
the city officials to make
things better for Stoughton, Volenberg said.
Since taking over or outgoing director Erica Dial in
April, Volenberg has been
getting a feel for the job
and working on ways to
help the community grow.
Volenberg sees the importance of promoting what the
city has to offer as a way to
get more large employers to
move to the city, and hes
planning on using his 32
years of business expertise
to make that happen.

industries to see what their


plans for expansion are.
Volenberg said the city is
in a good position to bring
a large employer to the city
as far as available land is
concerned, but luring a
large tech employer will
still be a challenge.

Short term goals


While adding to the
citys industrial economy
could be a long-term boost,
Volenberg has a few shortterm goals to help grow the
city.
He highlighted the education system as a bright spot
for the community, and said
he hopes to work with the
district to make sure people
outside the community are
aware of all the good things
the school system is doing.
Weve got some very
talented students, Volenberg said. Weve got a
very good school system.
He also wants to continue
to meet with local businesses and merchants to work
on a road map of what
will help them succeed.
Figuring out the needs and
desires of existing businesses will help the chamber
better serve those who are
already part of Stoughton,
he said.
Volenberg also wants to
expand some community
events to make them even
more appealing and profitable. He cited Edgertons
Chili Mania as a wellreceived community festival that draws a lot of people from in the community,
as well as outside the area.
To that end, he said
expanding parts of Stoughtons annual Coffee Break
festival would be a great
way to get more people to
the city.
He also hopes to capitalize on the Stoughton Opera
House events as a way to
bring people to the city.
In the first week on the
job, weve gotten more
calls on the Opera House
than anything else, Volenberg said. When we get
the people coming to town
for these events, weve got
to be here to serve them.
Maybe they come a little
early or stay a little late
after the event.

City phasing out outdoor fireboxes Council authorizes

The city is phasing out


the use of outdoor fire furnaces.
Under a new ordinance
the Common Council
adopted last week, city residents will not be allowed
to install new outdoor furnaces, which burn wood to
heat water for home heating. Any existing furnaces
will be grandfathered.
Planning director Rodney Scheel told the council
he believes there are only a
few of the furnaces being
used in the city. Officials
want to phase out the furnaces because the smoke
they generate is considered
a nuisance and a health
hazard.
The council at its May 12
meeting debated the merits of the new ordinance,
which permits existing furnaces to remain in place,
provided they meet a few

for further consideration.


Hohol noted that the moratorium had expired in
January, and there is no
ordinance prohibiting the
installation of a new outdoor furnace.
Hohol attempted to put in
place a five-year sunset
on existing furnaces.
This would ban all
outdoor furnaces in five
years, he said.
But the council on a 5-7
vote also rejected that idea.
The council then voted on
the motion to adopt the new
ordinance, which passed 8-4.
Alders Lawrence, Hohol,
Tom Majewski, Greg Jenson, Pat OConnor, Tom
Selsor, Sonny Swangstu and Ron Christianson
voted to adopt the ordinance. Engelberger, Regina
Hirsch, Tim Swadley and
Sid Boersma voted against.

know the current condition
of the victim.
Leck told the CourierHub that the department
was currently looking into
whether the shooting was
the result of criminal negligence, and that results from
toxicology exams were still
pending as of Monday.
Representatives with the
Stoughton Hospital told the
Courier-Hub they could not
comment on the status of
the victim when she was
transferred.
The owner of Reverend
Jims Roadhouse declined
to comment on the matter.

The citys financial consultant, Joe Murray, of
Springsted Inc., said the
interest rate on the 10-year
notes was 1.8 percent, but
that would likely change
by the time Springsted
actually sells the notes on
June 9.
Rates have increased
rapidly in the last two
weeks, he said.
He added the borrowing
is projected to increase the
citys 2016 property tax
levy by $22 per $100,000
of equalized value.
The council authorized
the borrowing last week
and will begin working in

citys Capital Improvement Plan for 2016-2020,
said finance director Laurie Sullivan.

There was some discussion of whether the city
could impose a ban on all
such furnaces, even those
installed prior to the new
ordinance. City attorney Matt Dregne said he
thought a ban would be
permissible as a public
health and safety measure.
Alds. Paul Lawrence

argued against an outright
ban.
We need to allow people with existing units time

Coach Hockett: Thanks for the memories


Stoughton boys basketball players, parents and fans:
I really dont know where to
begin. Most importantly, I just
want to say, Thank you.
The past six years have been
some of the best, most memorable
years of my life. I feel as though
Ive grown up in front of you, and
being able to lead our basketball
family has been a dream come
true.
It has been an honor to represent
both the school district and city
of Stoughton. I cant say enough
about how much all of your support has meant to me and our program. The privilege of coaching in
front of sold out crowds or looking around at the sea of purple
that regularly followed our team
are things that many high school
coaches never get to experience
and I never took that for granted.
Stoughton fans are the greatest in
the state.
After lots of thoughts and
prayers, Ive decided that it is in
my best interest to resign my basketball coaching position at this
time. For many years, Stoughton basketball has been my No.
1 priority, but as life progresses,
circumstances change, and at this
time, I feel it necessary to refocus
much of my energy in other avenues of life.
I truly cant say thank you
enough to our coaches, parents and all associated with our

Corrections

program (both high school and


youth). Ive always said: dont
work for me but rather with me
and the greatest compliment I can
extend is that this job never felt
like work because of you.
I am so grateful for the opportunity former athletic director Rich
Reitzner gave me back in 2009,
and I couldnt have asked for anything more from my experience.
Most importantly, to all my
players (alumni and current), outside of my immediate family,
theres no one I care for more.
Thank you for giving me your
heart. Ive told you before, but the
greatest compliment I can issue
is that you excited me to be your
basketball coach each and every
day. My off-court, practice and
game antics werent an act but
rather what you brought out of me
my best, and I will forever be
indebted to all of you for that.
I will continue to represent
the city of Stoughton to the best
of my ability regardless of what
the future may hold. I will never
forget these years as head of the
family; not just for the basketball
victories, but for the relationships
built, culture created, lessons
learned and the memories that will
last a lifetime.
Family never graduates!

Credit: June 30 is deadline for developer to sell four lots

and was able to secure the
letters, Steinkraus said.
On the TIF, we have
a $4.23 million letter of
credit, and on the additional construction completion guarantee that goes to
the city, its $1.1 million
letter, he told the Hub.
Were extremely happy,
but theres still paperwork
to be signed and theres still
Is to be dotted and Ts to
be crossed.
Weve come a long way
in the last couple weeks
and think were over some
major humps.
The developer agreement
calls for the city to provide about $5.1 million in
upfront TIF assistance for
the project. In return, FDG
must provide the letters of
credit to guarantee repayment of the citys borrowing. The developer would
use the TIF to pay construction contractors for the first
phase of public improvements related to KPW.

In its proposal for a


revised agreement, FDG
had suggested paying for
the first phase of infrastructure work leading to
the west-side development
and being reimbursed by
the city after the work was
completed.
At the councils April 14
meeting, Steinkraus said
FDG has commitments for
three of the four lots: WalMart on lot 2, McFarland
State Bank on lot 5 and
Kwik Trip on lot 6.
The developer is partnering with two development
companies on the remaining lots 3, 4, 7 and 8.
Along with letters of
credit, the developer is obligated to provide the city
with sales contracts on four
lots by June 30.
Last week, he was vague
about the status of those
sales.
Were working on the
lot sales and its looking
good, Steinkraus said. He
didnt return phone calls

before this weeks deadline


seeking an update.
Steinkraus told the Hub
on May 15 he had a postbid opening Tuesday, May
12.
We havent awarded
any construction contracts
yet, he said last week. We
just got the bids and were
working through that and
talking to the low bidder.
We hope to have a contract
in place within the next
week or so.
Steinkraus hopes to begin
construction the first week
in July and to complete
the phase 1 infrastructure
work by Nov. 1. He said
he doesnt anticipate any
of the companies that are
developing stores in KPW
to begin building until next
spring.
The (foundation) pads
arent going to be ready
until late fall, so we really
think its gonna be spring
before they start, he said.
Under the agreement,

Ald. Tom Selsor (D-4)
said he plans to suggest
forming an ad-hoc committee from the council, consisting of the four alders
who are also Realtors, to
check the purchase agreements at KPW, assuming
the developer has them by
the June 30 deadline.
He added there are lots
in KPW that have yet to
be legally bought by the
developer, as well.
Those lots need to be
legally bought and the others legally sold to the corporations, along with an
agreement that they build
by a certain time, he said.
If all those things are met,
well make the best of it
and try to make this project
work.

I Got You
There was a very uplifting story on
National Public Radio a few months
back about two soldiers who had been
in Afghanistan and were unexpectedly
reunited after more than ten years. The
soldiers, Roy Wilkins and Keith Melick,
were involved in an IED explosion which
gravely injured Wilkins. Melick was the
medic who pulled him from his badly
damaged Humvee, saying I got you
as he did so. The words I got you
stuck with Wilkins and he finally had
the chance to meet the man who helped
save his life some ten years later, unexpectedly, at a gym in a VA center. What
was most inspiring about this story,
besides the providential way in which
they were reunited, were those three
simple words, I got you. We have all
been in situations where we are literally
helpless, and having someone reach
in and pull us from the wreckage, or at
least lend us a hand, makes us feel a bit
less alone and vulnerable in the world.
We should try to be there for the helpless and vulnerable in our community,
and remember that even when it seems
that we are alone, God has our back.
Christopher Simon
Even though I walk through the darkest
valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with
me: your rod and your staff, they comfort
me.

Day we honor those who died as a result of


enemy action. Everyone gave something, some
gave everything.
Here in Stoughton there is a joint effort
between American Legion Post 59 and VFW
Post 328 to create a Stoughton Area Veterans
Park. Over two acres of land on Hwy. B has
been donated by the Linnerud family for the
park. A design has been chosen and fundraising has begun. All area Veterans will have
their names on engraved in granite as a part of
the overall centerpiece. Eligibility is simple
and easy. If you or someone you know was
ever in the military, no matter for how short
a time, they are eligible and at no cost to that
person. Computers have been set up at both
posts so you can find a name or information
on how to submit a name. This project is
expected to take quite a bit of time to complete
and will require a great deal of funding. To
make contributions and donations easy we

have formed an LLC and have become a 501C19 to become a tax deductible foundation.
On this Memorial Day let us all pause and
give thanks to those whose lives were cut short
so that we can continue to enjoy all of our
national holidays here in these United States of
America. Let Freedom Ring!
Patrick A. Nowlin
VFW Post 328 Commander

In memory of many,
In honor of all,
Thank you

adno=411036-01

Here in America there are several national


holidays that we observe. The Fourth of July
is a great celebration of our independence
and the birth of our nation. Then on Labor
Day the hard-working people of our country
take time off to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
Thanksgiving is set aside to remember all
of the things to share as a result of all our
hard work. There are also several religious
observances throughout the year that we, as a
free country, can choose and follow our own
beliefs. For all this, we are thankful.
Memorial Day is an observance of a solemn
occasion. Its a day we stop and remember
those Americans who lost their lives in the
defense of their countrys freedom and honor.
These brave young men and women didnt
just give their lives for their country. No, their
lives were taken from them. On Veterans Day
we honor all Veterans who have served their
country at any time or place. On Memorial

We salute
our
veterans.
Thank you.

Boys basketball

Boys track & field

Vikings get
best finish
since 2002
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

File photo by Anthony Iozzo

Stoughton High School boys basketball coach Matt Hockett pictured celebrating with fans during the 2013 state run resigned as head coach of the Vikings last week.

Building a family

Hockett steps down


as head coach of boys
basketball team
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

If there is one word that could


define the culture head coach Matt
Hockett created for the Stoughton
High School boys team, it would
be family.
Hockett who decided to step
down as head coach last week
was a part of many successes as
coach of the Vikings. From making state for the first time in 74
years in 2013, to three straight
sectional final appearances to
102 total wins in six seasons, the

close-knit groups that took the


court every year bonded through
the good times and the bad times.
That could not be even more
evident with last seasons fourth
straight conference title run.
Hockett was dealing with the
hardship of taking care of his wife
and newborn son Braxton who
was born three weeks early and
still trying to find time to coach
the Vikings.
But instead of letting the difficulties bother them, the Stoughton team said they were going to
play for Hockett and Braxton and
won a string of games by doubledigits.
They gave me their heart and,
in turn, brought out the very best
in me, Hockett wrote in an email.
They excited me each and every

day to be their basketball coach,


and I will forever be indebted to
them for that. They are the backbone of what was accomplished
responsible for putting Stoughton basketball on the map and I
couldnt be prouder of them.
The decision wasnt easy for
Hockett. He expected to make the
decision a month after the banquet
in early April, but he needed a few
more weeks to weigh his options.
In the end, it was clear that he
needed to take a break.
The task of juggling teaching,
head coaching and being a good
dad and husband at home was just
too much. Something had to give,
and unfortunately that something
was being a head coach, he said.
Hockett, who is on paternity
leave, is going to come back to

Stoughton High School to teach,


and coaching is something that
may not be out of his future.
But that is something he will
decide when the time comes.
If the opportunity is right, I
may be coaching again in some
capacity as soon as next year. I
love it, he said. However, being
a head high school boys basketball coach just isnt the right fit at
this time for me.
The search for a new head
coach is now open, but Hockett
said he will not assist in the decision for a replacement.
The hiring process of a new
coach I feel is best fit for our
school/athletic administration,
and I trust they will do what is in
the best interest of the program,
he said.

It had been awhile since


the Stoughton High School
boys track and field team
took higher than fourth at the
Badger South Conference
meet.
Tuesday marked the first
third-place finish since at
least 2002 at Middletons
Breitbach Stadium and also
included two individual
champions. The Vikings (101
points) only had six champions since 2002.
Despite the big finish,
Stoughton still couldnt get
past Monona Grove (169
points) re Oregon (139).
As a whole, I was very
happy, head coach Craig
Martens said. It is another
huge accomplishment for our
boys. MG is tough. Oregon is
tough. We knew some things
were going to have to happen for us to come out on
top, and MG competed like
crazy. They were impressive
tonight.
Juniors Adam Krumholz (high jump) and Buck
Krueger (discus) both won
titles, and their success shows
this Stoughton team is just
getting started.
We had some young athletes score in the sprints. We
are very young, so it makes
me very excited, Martens
said.
Krueger reached a PR distance of 148 feet, 4 inches in
the discus, while Krumholz
reached 6-0 to win the high
jump.
Senior John McCune
took second in the 800 in 2
minutes, 0.47 seconds, and
he was third in the mile in
4:29.06.
Senior Ben Brandt took
third in the shot put (44-11
1/2), and he was seventh in
the discus (126-4).

Those performances were
just two of several top-8 finishes as the Stoughton High
School girls track and field
team won its fifth straight
conference title, staving off

Oregon 162.5-152.
I remember my freshmen
year. I didnt even know what
conference was and how
much of a big deal it was,
said Crockett, who threw for
a career-high 39 feet in the
shot put. After that and up
until now, I am really thankful to be able to do this for all
four years. If I could, I would
come back and do it again.
Hannah Posick also celebrated her birthday Tuesday,
and she did so by reaching 11
feet in the pole vault for the
first time.
I have been working really hard for this height, and
today was more about the

team than myself. But to be


able to clear 11 feet and help
my team and get those points
for them, that is really what I
wanted to do today, Hannah
Posick said. Clearing 11 is
just amazing.
Hannah Posick also helped
the 4x200 relay team along
with sophomores Mya Lonnebotn, Payton Kahl and
Kendra Halverson win a
title in 1 minute, 50.01 seconds.

Merchants. The RBIs helped push Utica past Stoughton, 8-6.

Bates leads late rally by Utica at Syttende Mai


Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Starting pitcher Kyle Bates tossed


eight innings Saturday and ended up
with a no-decision. Bates, however,
finished 2-for-3 at the plate with a
pair of two-out hits over the final two
innings to propel the Utica As to
an 8-6 come-from-behind Southeast
Section victory.
I was just trying to put the ball
in play and it fell for me late in the
game, Bates said. It was a great
game all the way through.
Bates said despite being just the
third game of the season it felt like
a must win, especially when remembering Stoughton beating Utica on a
two-run Jake Wenzel walk-off home
run at Syttende Mai last year.
Stoughton veteran Dave Hansen
made the game all the more exciting with his team trailing four runs
in the top of the ninth, belting a twoout game-tying grand slam. Teammate Jake Wenzel was unable to be
the hero this time around though,

grounding out to end the inning.


The score remained deadlocked
from the fourth up to the top the of
ninth when Utica sent 10 hitters to
the plate to knock in four insurance
runs.
That was a great game for the
fans, Utica manager Dale Vike said.
It was too bad someone had to lose
because it was a great game all the
way around.
Bates highlighted the decisive
inning with a two-out double off his
former teammate Ryan Nyhagen,
who had entered the game two hitters
previous.
We ran into a tough spot with
Ryan when Erick (Sperloen) left the
game in the ninth, Stoughton manager Dale Seffens said. Ryan hadnt
pitched in nearly two years, but we
didnt really have any other options
at that point.
Seffens and the rest of the Merchants bench felt like the game
should have never come down to
extra innings, however, pointing
back to a potential double play that
was overturned in the fourth inning.

Bates was hit by a pitch with one


out to start the fourth before Ben
Hilldebrand reached base on an error
by Winder Fuentes, which brought
Dane Schultz to the plate with one
out.
Schultz promptly hit a ball to
Fuentes, who thought he got pinch
runner Mike Lund with the tag before
throwing to first baseman Max Fuller
for an inning-ending double play.
The infield umpire called Lund
safe at second and the call was
upheld by the home plate umpire
the call led to a pair of runs when
Kevin ODonnell doubled to center
field one hitter later.
Stoughton jumped out to a 2-0
lead in the home half of the first on
Kris Rosholts two-run double. Two
innings later Utica knotted the score
with a two-run double by ODonnell.
The Merchants (2-1) host Evansville (0-3) on Sunday before traveling to Waterloo on Memorial Day,

Memorial Day: Olson was Medal of Honor recipient


Continued from page 1
prestigious national honor
than Olson, who 70 years
ago was posthumously
awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the
nations highest award. He
is one of 464 World War II
Medal of Honor recipients,
one of 266 whose medal
was awarded posthumously, and the only one from
the Stoughton area.
Olson is buried in West
Koshkonong Lutheran
Church Cemetery. He is
also memorialized with
a plaque that is proudly
displayed at Stoughtons
American Legion Post 59.

Allied advance
Olson was 26 when he
was killed Jan. 31, 1944,
during the Battle of Cisterna, Italy, as part of the
ill-fated Anzio campaign,
according to military
records. His father, Axel,
accepted his medal nearly a
year later, on Jan. 24, 1945.
Olson entered the service
in Cambridge in June 1942,
and was sent to Europe the
following year to participate in the Allied invasion
of Italy.
As 1944 began, the
tide of World War II had
swung in the favor of
the Allies. Germany and
Japans junior Axis partner, Italy, had surrendered
a few months earlier, and
Allied armies had invaded
the southern part of the
country, slowly fighting
their way north against
well-entrenched German
defenders.
The advance had stalled,
though, so to open a
new front behind enemy
lines, the Allies launched
amphibious landings on
Jan. 22 in central Italy,
just west of Rome. The
landings, made near the
resort towns of Anzio and
Nettuno, were initially
successful, catching the
Germans by surprise, but
as the defenders quickly
regrouped, the tide shifted.

Poppy days
Poppy Days to support veterans will be held May
21-23. The American Legion and Auxiliary members
will have poppies at Pick n Save, Kwik Trips and
other businesses throughout Stoughton for people
to make donations.

Keeping his post


According to the U.S.
Army Center of Military
History website, on Jan.
30, U.S. forces, including
Olsons 7th Infantry, 3rd
Division, attacked German
positions near Cisterna.
They were unknowingly
headed directly toward 36
German battalions massing
for a Feb. 1 counterattack.
An advance force of two
Ranger battalions without
heavy weapons ran into
a German tank division
and was forced into the
open and massacred; only
six men returned back to
Allied lines out of 767.
Things were not much
better for Olson and the
men of 7th Infantrys B
Company, who were fighting for their lives after a

entrenched positions, with

a toehold on a horseshoe-shaped ridge, but

Expecting a heavy German
counterattack, Olson took

the only one remaining
to the front of the position to bear the brunt of the
attack, buying time for the
survivors to dig defensive
positions behind him.

Truman Olson is buried at West Koshkonong Lutheran Church


cemetery.

and weary but still fighting
after more than 24 hours.
He was wounded twice
more but refused to be
evacuated, as his machine
gun was his decimated
units main defense. He

fought on for nearly two

and eventually forcing the
German force to retreat
before he succumbed to his
wounds.

Veterans memorial
project seeks donors
Stoughton American
Legion Post 59 and Stoughton VFW Post 328 are
continuing to raise funds
for the planned memorial
at the corner of County B
and Country Club Road in
Pleasant Springs.
Fundraising started in
March, and Bud Erickson
of Post 59 said he hopes
Memorial Day will help
serve as a reminder about
the sacrifices made by hundreds of Stoughton area
veterans, going back to the
War of 1812.
They gave their all,
Erickson said. Let us give
our all. Help the veterans
who helped you by supporting the veterans memorial
park.
Cash and in-kind donations are accepted, and there
are a variety of options
available for donors who
would like to be permanently recognized in the memorial, with engraved bricks

available ($150-$550), concrete benches ($3,000), flag


poles and bases ($5,200),
educational pillars with
engraved photos and quotations ($10,000), an archway
entrance ($50,000) and centerpiece with bronze eagle
($90,000).
Erickson said any person who served in the U.S.
military and has lived in
the greater Stoughton area
is eligible to have their
name placed at the memorial. Anyone can purchase a
brick and put any inscription on they wish. So far,
the group has collected the
names of 2,600 Stoughton
area veterans.
The goal is to have the
project, estimated to cost
around $750,000, completed in time for Veterans
Day next year Nov. 11.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:
DISCUSSION:
A. Professional Educator Alternative Compensation - Becky Fjelstad,
Erica Pickett and Judy Singletary presented proposed Professional Educator Alternative Compensation Plan.
The Professional Educator Alternative
Compensation committee was a sixteen
person committee comprised of district
professional educators (8), administrators (5), school board members (2) and
one WEAC representative. The process
began with a survey conducted February 2014, feedback from administrators
professional educator, and a board focus groups. The committee then began
meeting in May 2014. This proposed
compensation model: promotes professional educator growth and the application of the learning; promotes student growth; attracts and retains staff;
is financially sustainable; aligns with
district goals and objectives; is predictable; does not negatively impact educators; is easily understood; uses multiple
measures for advancement; and can be
easily administered. The Plan has four
levels: Initial, Collaborative, Innovative,
and System Professional. Each level will
have an annual, incremental monetary
increase based on the range midpoint.
Board member questions: How will subjectivity be handled; Will data points
be considered when determining level
assignments; How will educators move
through levels; How many staff will be
in each level; When will educators have
time to prepare these plans; Will there
be a staff survey-how will we know how
educators feel about this plan; Will pay
increases be individualized; How does
this plan compare to other districts in
our area; Will action research be recognized to move up a level; Is there a
better way to distribute monies available
to compensate for valued employees;
and, How do we evaluate experienced
teachers in the district. This item will be
placed on the May 4 agenda for board
action.

can be a nuisance to the public. The purpose of this ordinance is to protect the
public health and reduce the potential
public nuisance.
c) No person shall install, use or
maintain an outdoor fired furnace in the
city limits unless the burning is specifically permitted by this ordinance.
d) Enforcement. The building inspector, or his or her designee, shall
enforce this ordinance.
e) Any person who violates any provision of this ordinance shall be fined

NB Neighborhood Business to CB
Central Business, subject to certain
conditions being satisfied; and
2. The Central Business district is
intended to permit both large and small
scale downtown commercial development at an intensity which provides
significant incentives for infill development, redevelopment, and the continued
economic viability of existing development. To accomplish this effect, minimum landscape surface ratios (LSRs)
permitted in this district are much lower
than those allowed in the Planned Business District. A wide range of office, retail, and lodging land uses are permitted
within this district. In order to ensure a
minimum of disruption to residential development, development within this district shall take access from a collector or

to amend the zoning classification of the
properties at 301 W Main Street, Stoughton to CB Central Business, which was
preceded by the publication of a class
2 notice under ch. 985 of the Wisconsin
Statutes. The Planning Commission
considered the application, and recommend the Common Council approve the
proposed rezoning request with or without conditions; and
5. The Common Council determines
that, subject to certain conditions,
amending the zoning classification of
the property to CB Central Business
is consistent with the spirit and intent of
the Citys Zoning Code; has the potential for producing significant community
benefits in terms of aesthetics, community character and allows appropriate
use of the property; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council of
the City of Stoughton, Dane County,
Wisconsin do ordain as follows:
Section 1. The recitals set forth
above are material to and are incorporated in this ordinance as if set forth in full.
Section 2. Subject to the conditions
set forth in section 4 below, the zoning
classification of the property is hereby
changed to CB Central Business pursuant to section 78-903 of the City Code
and Wis. Stat. 62.23(7)(d).
Section 3. The Property shall be
used in full compliance with the CB
Central Business zoning requirements.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take
effect upon publication with the following conditions:
No conditions have been placed
on these properties.
